Types of business email compromise targeting London businesses
CEO / Executive Fraud
Attacker impersonates CEO or CFO to pressure finance staff into urgent wire transfers. Often uses display name spoofing — the email address looks different but the name is identical.
Invoice Fraud
Attackers intercept supplier invoices and replace bank account details with their own. Particularly common in construction, legal, and property management.
Conveyancing Fraud
BEC variant targeting property transactions — attackers intercept solicitor email and divert completion funds. Average loss: £100,000+. Increasingly common in London.
Account Takeover
Real email account compromised via phishing or credential stuffing, then used to send fraudulent payment requests or harvest data from internal communications.
Payroll Diversion
Attacker impersonates an employee to HR or payroll, requesting a change of bank account details ahead of salary payment.
Supply Chain BEC
Compromised supplier email account used to send malicious content or fraudulent payment requests that bypass standard email filtering due to the trusted sender.
How we protect your business from BEC
MFA Enforcement
Multi-factor authentication on every email account makes account takeover via phished passwords almost impossible.
DMARC / DKIM / SPF
Email authentication preventing display name spoofing and domain impersonation — the technical foundation of BEC prevention.
Anti-Impersonation AI
Microsoft Defender's AI detects executive name spoofing, lookalike domains, and unusual sender patterns even from legitimate-looking addresses.
Conditional Access
Entra ID Conditional Access blocks sign-ins from unfamiliar locations, devices, and impossible travel scenarios — limiting post-compromise blast radius.
Staff Awareness Training
Finance staff trained on BEC verification procedures — mandatory phone verification for any new payment instructions, regardless of email sender.
Dark Web Monitoring
Continuous monitoring for compromised credentials belonging to your organisation — early warning before attackers use them.
